Your best shot is a firm that lets you trade remotely. I actually grew up down the road from you in Memphis, but relocated 15 years ago when the floor was the place to go get started. Now if you put up a little capital you can trade from anywhere. The only one I know of off the top of my head is Echotrade, www.echotradeonline.com , but they seem to get mixed reviews depending on who you deal with there.
